On
March 3, 1967 it was decommissioned and on October 13, 1967
donated to Chesapeake Maritime Museum, St. Michaels (MD), remaining
there until early 1970´s when it was sold sold to the
Heritage Ship Guild for floating display at Penns Landing, Philadelphia
(PA). The group disbanded and transferred ownership to the present
owner Mr. Rod Sadler and a new group called Camden Museum and Learning
Center. Mr. Sadler, owner of the Pyne Poynt Marine Services wants to
refurbish the ship and move it to the Camden waterfront but
unfortunately it is sitting in the mud at his private location in
Camden (NJ) today. This lightship is endangered and even if it is a
National Historic Landmark, it is sitting in mud. Pumps run
during high tides to keep water out and its hull is fragile. The
lightship is intact and has all its equipment. Its future is uncertain.
